But honestly, can you imagine going back to being a Realtor and not having a cell phone? Yesterday, I drove my college ag...

I'm usually at the office or showing property when Oprah airs on our local Springfield station so I record it and watch it while treading on the tread mill later in the evening. Tonight's episode dealt with Oprah's debt diet and I came away quite shocked how people can be so immature where person...

I just love June. To me it's really summertime when June rolls in. In Branson, White Water opens on Tuesday the 1st and in Springfield, the public pools open on Thursday, June 3. If you like fresh produce the 32nd annual Greater Springfield Farmer's Market is held on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturda...

Looking for something the whole family can do that won't break the bank? This Friday and Saturday (June 4 and 5) the longet running bull ride in southwest Missouri will take place in Ozark at the Booster Club Arena near the city park. There's also a calf scramble for the kids ages 5-10.

Back to the office tomorrow. I have a client wanting to see property and two closings scheduled for the upcoming week. But today is day three of a Memorial Weekend Shopathon. Saturday was shopping in Tulsa. On Sunday I drove thirty miles south to Branson and today I spent an afternoon in good ol'...
